15、 Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 EN 12670:2001 (E) Introduction The term Natural Stone groups several rock types with marked geological differences. The extraction elaboration and commerce of Natural Stone have set a very particular vocabulary. Many of these terms have

16、 been taken from the popular or quarrymen language, which sometimes is far from scientific definitions; this often results in a great deal of confusion. This standard establishes the terminological bases for geological and petrologic definitions of Natural Stone and its classification. References to

17、 definitions of natural stone products, defined in other European Standards, are provided when necessary. It also incorporates most of the popular or commercial terminology. The terminology covers the fields of geology, mining, processing, marketing and products of Natural Stone. The included scient

18、ific classifications allows to set the scientific name of the stone varieties. 4 EN 12670:2001 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard defines the recommended terminology covering scientific, and technical terms, test methods, products, and the classification of Natural Stones. 2 Terminology of Natural S
